BERKELEY (KCBS) – Next fall, UC Berkeley’s largest student cooperative will be a drug-free living space with an almost entirely new membership, the result of a massive settlement stemming from an overdose at the residence three years ago.

The Berkeley Student Cooperative’s board of directors voted Friday to evict all but one of the 150 students now living there, and reconstitute Cloyne Hall as an academic-themed residence in the 2014-15 school year.

“The insurance company that had to pay me decided that the current policies at Cloyne were not working, and that if they had to pay out again, they were going to cancel,” said Madelyn Bennett, the young man’s mother.

Besides providing constant care for her son, Bennett has also had to contend with anger from those who do not want to see the co-op changed.
